I beg your pardon mister for intruding privacy
I was sitting on the barstool I couldn't help but see
By the way you've been drinking it must be an awful mood you're in
You're not drowning your heartache you're just teaching it to swim

You wonder what came over you why did she treat you so
You sit and drink in sorrow wishing all the hurt would go
Guess you've ask yourself a hundred times what did she see in him
You're not drowning your heartache you're just teaching it to swim

Perhaps you're wondering how a stranger like me could understand
But I've got a feeling we're in the same boat my friend
Just like you I lost my darling she just walked away with him
You're not drowning your heartache you're just teaching it to swim
You're not drowning your heartache you're just teaching it to swim
